Well, last year I read 78 according to goodreads, so there's a few years worth of books for me to read there.
Commenting on my post about Christmas Tree Festivals:
Yes, this is a new tradition. Certainly in York 10 years ago, and in Essex three years ago, there were no tree festivals. Do you know what began them?
I liked your post, and it is interesting to see how trees are being used as a symbol of hope and reaching out and sharing. It's what I always think trees are - so long as we have trees, the earth will continue to thrive, somehow. Thank you for writing about your festival! Have a happy holiday :-)

I'm afraid that I have no idea where Christmas Tree Festivals started. I tried searching on the internet for more information about them, but no history came up. If anyone else knows how they started (or even knows of one which took place earlier than the last 10 years or so) I'd love to know.

that title is so intriguing - i agree wth freda -- what the heck does the cover look like!?
Thanks for all your comments and questions. You're the ones who make this blog what it is!
